BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

This invention relates generally to the field of apparatus for a soundmaking and balloon inflating novelty baseball bat. Moreover it pertainsspecifically t such apparatus for this present invention generallyrelates to a novelty baseball bat that is smaller in size then theregular baseball bat wherein the interior of the bat includes a hollowedout portion that contains an electronic sound generating device, and isable to inflate a balloon by manually working upward and downward ahandle located on the bottom of the bat.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the limitations now present in the prior art, the presentinvention provides a new and useful sound making and balloon inflatingnovelty baseball bat which is simple in construction, more universallyusable and more versatile in operation than known apparatus of thiskind.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new sound makingand balloon inflating cheering baseball bat, device that has many novelfeatures not offered by the prior art apparatus that result in a newbaseball cheering novelty bat. Device which is not apparent, obvious, orsuggested directly or indirectly by any of the prior art apparatus.

The present invention generally comprises two mechanisms that are of asingle extruded embodiment. The cheering bat is molded in two separatepeaces to provide full asses to the inside during assemble. After theunit has been assembled and tested, a special plastic adhesive is applyto the seam that will not only glue the unit together, but fuse theplastic making it inseparable without breaking the unit.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

After assembly of the cheering bat two void seals are apply at oppositeside of the seam. This provides security with a fast and simple means ofvisually detecting tampering. If the void seals are remove or temperedwith it will damage the sticker making it irreplaceable.

The mechanical features of the cheering bat consists of a simple, yetdurable pump, this dual action pump, is what generates the air toinflate the balloon. Because the pump is dual action, air is generatedon both the upward and downward action of the cylinder. This allows forthe inflation of the balloon with half the effort and twice as fast. Theair that is generated by the pump will travel a simple plumbing up to anelectronic 3 way check valve. The valves basic purpose is To allow airinto the balloon, but prevent it from escaping back into the system. Thevalve is rated To except only a predetermine amount of air into theballoon, regardless of how much air is Generated by the pump. Excess airwill be directly vented thought an exhaust port,

A deflated button which is located approximate four inches from thebottom of the unit, when Pressed, a signal will be sent from the minielectronic board to the check valve, letting the Contained air in theballoon to be vented though the exhaust port. The cheer sound isgenerated by Pressing a cheer button which in turns sends a signal tothe mini electronic board to play the file Stored in memory, twospeakers located near the top of the bat will emit the sound,

The foregoing has outlined, in general, the physical aspects of theinvention and is to serve as An aid to better understanding the morecomplete detailed description which is to follow. In

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In the information summary I will review the distinctive features of thecheering bat. Produced from a plastic material, the cheering bat wouldconsist of a replica of a baseball bat Measuring approximately 12 incheslong and 4 inches in diameter at its top. The unit would, like Aconventional baseball bat, feature a tapered design and would thus bewider at its top then at its Bottom. Incorporated into the interior ofthe bat would be a manual operated, dual-action air Pump, somewhatsimilar to a bicycle pump. The plunger of the pump would be accessiblefrom The bottom of the unit and would include a handle or gripping areathat would resemble the end Knob of a conventional baseball bat. Theplunger would be contained within a simple plumbing System, which moveair upward though a tube or small pipe when the plunger is pushed orpulled. The plunger comprises of a locking mechanism that would lock thehandle or knob into place and Will prevent the plunger from sliding outof the bat when not in use. Affixed to the top of the air Pump withinthe top of the bat would be a balloon, which is designed to resemble abaseball. This Balloon would comprise of approximate 4 inches indiameter when inflated and would exit a hole In the top of the bat whenengaged the unit's pumping mechanism. Connecting the balloon to the Endof the pump would be a three-way electronic check valve, which would bewired to a mini Computer circuit board located within the upper interiorof the unit. This valve would allow a Predetermine amount of air to bepumped into the balloon, which in turn will prevent the balloon Frombreaking. Any excess air will be vented though exhaust ports on thevalve and plastic Housing Of the bat. The valve will also allow theballoon to be deflated and withdrawn into the bat. A Deflated buttonwill be featured on the handle of the bat approximately five and halfinches from The bottom end of the unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The circuit board or mini computer of the cheer bat comprises a digitalaudio chip that would Contain a prerecorded fanfare or musical rallyplayed on trumpet. This sound is emitted though a Pair of speakerlocated on opposite side of the bat's upper area or barrel and isactivated via a Cheer button located on the bat's handle approximatefour and half inches from its bottom end. The mini computer is poweredby a standard N-cell battery, which is contained in housing on The topexterior side of the bat. This housing could be accessed via a small,hinged, and Translucent Panel. The cheer bat comprises of the red whiteand blue color featuring a design representing the American flag. Theexterior of the bat as well as the balloon include the names and logosof Mayor league and minor league baseball teams,

The used of the cheer bat comprises of the following steps, simpleunlock the unit's handle or Plunger, pumps the handle several times, andre-locks the handle or pump within the end of the Bat. This inflate theballoon located on top of the bat, then one would wave the unit in theair to cheer His favorite team or player or deride opposing teams orplayer. If so desired, the user could press The cheer buttons on thebat's handle to activate the trumpet rally or fanfare.

Referring now descriptively to the drawings, the attached figuresillustrate a sound making and Balloon inflating novelty baseball bat.FIG. 1. Illustrates a sound making and balloon inflating Noveltybaseball bat. According to the present invention, the bat comprises asimple, yet durable

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Pump 14 which is what generates the air to inflate the balloon 10because the pump is dual action; Air is generated on both the upward anddownward action of the cylinder 14 which is what Generates the air toinflate the balloon 10. The air that is generated by the pump willtravel through A simple plumbing system, up to an electronic three wayvalve 19. The valve 19 basic purpose is To allow air into the balloon10.
